Selflessness should drive decisions — even if you're low-risk, older/vulnerable congregants face serious danger. Mike's personal practice: running errands for his elderly mother with COPD.

Mike is personally low-risk but his mother has COPD. He runs errands for her and offers help to vulnerable community members. Church is more than Sunday gathering — phone calls, small home groups, online services maintain fellowship. Missing a Sunday or even a month isn't "forsaking the assembly" (Hebrews 10:25) any more than being hospitalized is.
